On that day I will raise up the Tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages. I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the Lord who does this thing. AMOS 9: Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk His paths. ISAIAH 2: 2 3 On September 13, 2015, ROSH HASHANAH, the last day of SHEMITAH, and the beginning of the Jewish JUBILEE, The Coming King Foundation (TCKF) will dedicate a type of last days Tabernacle in the Texas Hill Country. By the sovereignty of God, THE COMING KING SCULPTURE PRAYER GARDEN is located approximately halfway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on Interstate 10, at the same latitude as Israel, about 60 miles northwest of San Antonio. The rugged 24.5 acre park looks like the Holy Land with its elevation, limestone and native plants. TCKF believes this non-denominational Christian garden park was inspired by God the Father, to bring glory and souls to Jesus Christ, the Son. After almost 14 years of effort and prayer, the central 300 cross-shaped garden is being dedicated to the LORD on September 13, 2015, Rosh Hashanah, Shemitah and Jubilee. 1

2 The dedication of this garden will start at 2:30 PM, on Sunday afternoon. LIVE worship will go into the evening. This free event will be presented in four segments. Guests are welcome to come as go as needed. The celebration will include miracle testimony, Scripture reading, consecration prayers, extravagant worship and prayers for the USA and Israel. Messianic, Jewish evangelist, TV and radio personality, Dr. Randy Weiss from Dallas, will provide prophetic insight related to current events. Later at sunset, Dr. Weiss will present the Jewish Rosh Hashanah, (Jewish New Year), Feast Of Trumpets ceremony at 7:48 pm. Numerous gifted Christian music groups will provide extravagant LIVE worship into the night. Individual prayer ministry will also be available from TCKF Tour Guide Chaplains, wearing red Servant s Aprons. Water Baptisms will also be available at 6:00 pm. in front of The Empty Cross. Great Texas smoked brisket will be available for sale onsite, in the Outer Court, from Chuck Wagon Bar-B-Q, of Ingram, TX. The entire garden will be dedicated, along with the #1 The Coming King bronze sculpture, which depicts Jesus Christ returning in glory on a white horse (Revelation 19:11). This 18 tall, 105%, life-size bronze monument was created by artist/evangelist, Max Greiner, Jr., and EAGLE BRONZE of Lander, WY. The $225,000 bronze of Jesus has been donated to the garden by Max and Sherry Greiner, and two other anonymous donors. The 5,000 lb. sculpture completes the artist s original, 2002 vision of a cross-shaped, evangelistic art garden, filled with monumental Christian sculptures and the Gospel on Scripture Tiles, in multiple languages. The Coming King statue, which took about two years to make, sits atop a 7 tall x 7 wide, Living Water waterfall, which flows down into a Baptismal pool. This sculpture has been placed right in front of The Empty Cross, a $2,000,000, seven story sculpture, believed to be the most symbolic cross sculpture in the world. Dedication guests are expected from across Texas, the USA and world. To date, people from all 50 states and at least 52 countries have already visited free art park. Between January 1 and September 1, 2015, 23,558 vehicles entered the garden, with an estimated 61,250 passengers. Today, the nondenominational Christian garden is Kerrville s top, year-round art and tourist attraction and is blessing the local economy as a result. However, the inspirational monumental art and scenic views are not the only thing drawing visitors to the 1,930 mountain top in Kerrville. On 8/27/02, a stranger from Beaumont, TX, ed Max Greiner stating the artist had been called by God to create a 77 7 Resurrection Cross over IH-10. After Max prayed about this request, he received a vision of a new cross and Sculpture Prayer Garden. On 12/9/01, Dr. Mahesh Chavda, guest Pastor/Evangelist from Charlotte, NC publically prophesied at Bill Hart s Catherdral of Praise Church in Austin, TX, that the Greiners would Restore the Tabernacle, with the help of other Christians. Shortly after receiving the divine vision, Greiner created prelimanary sketches to share his ideas with others. 2

3 Thousands of people report experiencing the tangible presence of God, supernatural miracles, healings and angels. The visible glory of God has manifested too, in the form of tiny sparkling dust particles (Ex 34:29, Isa 60:1, Acts 7:55). The Glory Dust has formed on thousands of people at the garden property. This unknown supernatural substance which looks like fine glitter, has been analyzed by TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY. Thousands of visitors report genuine, Biblical type miracles occurring at the Kerrville art garden. Almost 14 years in the making, the garden park has been built on faith in God, without debt, professional fundraisers or public tax money. This dedication service will celebrate the completion of the original vision of the 300 cross-shape garden and will incorporate prayers for our nation and Israel. On December 9, 2001, artist evangelist, Max Greiner, Jr. and his wife, Sherry were called out of a Austin church congregation by Dr. Mahesh Chavda, from North Carolina. He proclaimed that God was calling the couple (with the help of others) to restore the Tabernacle. Initially, the Greiners dismissed the modern-day prophecy as Charismatic excess. That changed when Greiner received an unexpected open vision for a garden Tabernacle and unique cross design, after praying about an August 8, from another stranger, Marlon Quibodeaux of Beaumont, TX. The business man told Greiner that God wanted him to create a 77 7 Crucifix sculpture to be placed over IH-10 in Beaumont, TX. Now, almost 14 years later, the prophetic vision has come to past, thanks to the grace of God and the support and prayers of thousands of Christians from around the world. The free garden is open 365 days a year, from 7:00 am. until midnight. For more information, please visit the foundation s website: 3 Expert gardener, Kathy Lyles, a volunteer from Fredericksburg, TX., maintains the garden for the King of Glory. The landscaping work has been donated by Billy Long, owner of Gardens At The Ridge, and Robert Underwood, owner of AAA Landscape, in San Antonio and Phoenix, AZ. Bryan Hutzler, Manager of Love Creek Orchards in Medina donated the 42 Big Tooth Maple trees that line the 300 cross-shaped garden. Paul Newsome, owner of Newsome Sprinklers in San Antonio donated the elaborate irrigation system. Dean Tinnin of Tinnin Water Well Drilling and Bobby Cason, owner of Mid-Tex Pumps donated the water system.

4 On 12/9/01, God called Max & Sherry Greiner to Restore the Tabernacle, through a prophetic word given by Dr. Mahesh Chavda in Austin, TX. On 8/28/15, Eagle Bronze of Lander, WY installed Max Greiner s 18 tall bronze sculpture The Coming King at the 24.5 acre garden. 4

7 92 year old, Col. Bill Lewis is one of the trained TCKF Tour Guide Chaplaiins who will be praying for people at the garden Dedication. The center of the 300 cross-shaped garden is The Coming King bronze sculpture, which sits on a Living Water Baptismal fountain.

8 THE KING COMES TO KERRVILLE! On Friday, August 28, 2015, Monte Paddleford, of Eagle Bronze, arrived in Kerrville, TX to install the #1, life-size (105%) bronze sculpture, The Coming King at The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden, after driving 1,232 miles from Lander, WY. Monte and Beverly Paddleford, owners of Eagle Bronze, have been casting all of Max Greiner s original monumental bronze sculptures since July of A great friendship has developed between the families over the years, thanks to their mutual love for Jesus Christ. Through an amazing series of circumstances, and a Holy Spirit fleece, God instructed Max to start casting his monumental bronze sculptures with Eagle Bronze, even though his other art foundry was only 100 miles away. Little did the families know, that 25 years later they would be building a free Sculpture Prayer Garden on IH-10, to bring glory, honor and souls to Jesus Christ. The 5,000 lb. bronze sculpture of Christ returning in glory on a white horse, sits atop a 7 tall stainless steel pedestal base. This structure is surrounded by massive, 1.25 ton limestone blocks, placed by Edmund Jenschke Construction. The beautiful stone masonry work was done by Greiner employee, Jose Mendoza, as a donation to TCKF. A 7 tall waterfall flows into a circular basin, around the monumental sculpture. The Living Water Fountain has a Baptismal area on the back of the basin, facing The Empty Cross. People can be Water Baptized there, after receiving Salvation and the Empowerment Baptism, inside the giant cross. A special metal plaque, on the back of the stone base, explains the three types of Christian Baptisms taught in the Bible. This information has been compiled from the excellent work done by Dr. Robby Carpenter. Area churches that don t have a Baptismal can use the Living Water Fountain at the garden for their Water Baptisms. TCKF expects to begin scheduling Water Baptisms, with Tour Guide Chaplains, in the near future. For more information on being baptized at The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden, please contact the TCKF office. We are expecting that thousands of visitors to The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden will be greatly impacted, when they see a realistic depiction of the King of glory, arriving on His white horse! Marvin Olenbush, owner of Alamo Crane in San Antonio donated their services to place The Coming King (105%) life-size bronze sculpture. Marvin also donated his cranes in July of 2010, to raise The Empty Cross, as gift to God. Jose Mendoza, Monte Paddleford, Max Greiner, Jr., and Johnny Sharp, all prepared the 5,000 lb. bronze sculpture for placement on the Living Water Baptismal Fountain, in the center of the 300 cross-shaped garden. On Friday 8/28/15, Alamo Crane carefully lowered the 5,000 lb. monumental sculpture onto its limestone and stainless steel base. Louada Raschke, TCKF Trustee, was one of the first people to see the bronze of Jesus Christ, when the 18 tall (105%) life-size bronze sculpture arrived at the garden early Friday morning, 8/28/15. The sculpture was cast by Eagle Bronze Foundry, of Lander, WY. Louada was overwhelmed with emotion when she saw the sculpture for the first time. 8

9 Over the years, Jack Rothenflue, Jim McKnight and Jeff Anderson have been instrumental in the completion of the garden. Monte Paddleford, owner of Eagle Bronze Foundry, has been friends with Greiners since 1990, when he cast Max s life-size Divine Servant Monte Paddleford attached the bronze Sword Of The Spirit to the right hand of Jesus Christ, in this 5,000 lb. sculpture. The Sword Of The Spirit appeared to be on fire during the installation on 8/28/15. 9

10 PAVE THE WAY TO THE CROSS! Would you please help us pave the way to the Cross, so thousands, even millions of people can meet Jesus Christ and discover the power of His Holy Spirit? We need your help! TCKF is pioneering a new, unique and effective method of bringing people to Jesus using monumental, Christ-honoring sculptures, and the holy Scripture, presented in a garden park format. Visitors read 77 Bible verses, in three languages, on 16 Scripture Tiles as they stroll down a 300 cross-shaped garden which leads to the most symbolic cross in the world, The Empty Cross. Inside the 7 wide space of the massive 77 7 Resurrection cross, guests can pray to be Born-again, empowered by the Holy Spirit, healed, delivered and blessed with God s miracles. Tens of thousands of people have already experienced the presence of God at the free, 24.5 acre park, located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, at the same latitude as Israel. People are coming from all 50 states and at least 52 countries, to date. The Fruit of this garden is very good! Thousands of people have been Born-again and empowered by the Holy Spirit at the garden. Hundreds have been healed, psychologically and physically. As of this date, 18 suicides have been averted, to our knowledge. Thousands of people have experienced supernatural, documented miracles, including the sparkling Glory Dust particles. Some have seen and photographed angels on this holy mountain. This evangelistic project is also unique because it is being built on faith in God, without debt. However, funds are still needed to complete this last days, non-denominational, Christian Tabernacle. It is the proto-type for other soul-winning gardens to be built across the USA and world. The land, art, and landscaping worth millions of dollars, have been donated. However, more roads, parking lots, lights, restrooms and a Visitors Center are still needed! Admission to the type of last days Tabernacle will always be free to the public. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP US? There are many ways to contribute. You can donate your prayers, time, skills and treasure to build this garden for Jesus. You can also become an Ambassador of The Cross. Cash donations are needed and are tax deductible in the USA. TCKF is a 501c3 art museum, not a ministry.
